This series has what it takes to become one of the best animes in recent memory. Haven't been into anime for a very long time (wife and 2 kids will do that), but I saw the Netflix trailer and decided to give it a try over the 4th of July weekend.
In a word: Awesome.
The story, animation and the backdrop are all top notch. The plot is bleak but offers glimmers of hope and the action scenes are absolutely stunning. Very interesting developments going on between the characters and I really loved the way that Season 1 wrapped up. The fact that the story deals with mature themes and the trademark anime goofy moments are kept to a bare minimum is a big plus to me personally.
I highly recommend it if you're looking for an excellent new series to get into and if you're into anime especially of the mecha variety, it's an absolute no-brainer.
I'm highly anticipating Season 2 this fall.
